checkers

The area of a square checker board is
25x^2 -40x +16. Find the length of a side.

how do i figure this out?
Answered by David Q
That equation factorizes as (5x-4)(5x-4), so if the original expression is the area, then one of those two identical factors must represent the side.
Answered by jennifer
so is (5x-4) the actual answer or do I have to factor it further
Answered by David Q
You won't be able to factor it further, so yes: that's the answer.
